LONDON: British captain Harry Kane expects the Euro 2021 final on Sunday against Italy to go down to the wire because the team is very suitable.
England and Italy headed into Wembley’s conference as two prominent sides of the tournament.
The four-time Italian world champion, the last to win the euro in 1968, made the start fly when they ripped off their group before fighting through Austria, Belgium and Spain to reach the final.
England initially felt more difficult to reach the top gear because they scored only twice while winning their group, but the Dominan Gareth Southgate troops in the victory of the KO stage against Germany, Ukraine and Denmark.
Kane believes that one team will fit the championship, but he is sure England has enough quality to win the European Championship for the first time.
“This is a real 50-50 game that I think.
Of course Italian has a better history than we in terms of winning tournaments, but many of us in our team now have experience at the club level play in the biggest game, the biggest finals, “Kane told reporters on Friday.
“This is a very powerful game.
From our point of view, we have full confidence in what we have done and how we have prepared, and of course we believe we can win the match.” But we also know it will be very.
difficult.
They have some great players, some great experiences.
“In any final, in any big game, you must be above all aspects.
We know it’s a case on Sunday and hopefully we can swing it.” Asking if he allowed him to imagine lifting the trophy at Wembley in front of 60,000 British fans, Kane said: “To be sure, as a player you think at that time, you dream enough for it.” Obviously we all just land to know that we have a very difficult game in our hands on Sundays.
But there is good confidence in this team.
“You play football to win, you dream of these moments as a child, lift the trophy for your country and we have that opportunity now.” Great prospects for us, we only need to enjoy that moment, but the course does, and we want to be on the side of the victory coming Sunday.
“If the British won their first big silver since the 1966 World Cup, Kane can be mentioned in the same breath as three lions Icons of Bobby Moore, who lifted the trophy 55 years ago.” Every time your name is mentioned in the same company as a player like that, that Just give you motivation, give you confidence, “Kane said.” Of course, it will be an extraordinary achievement.
We have all been waiting for the players, as public, as people to see us in the final.
“So this is the opportunity you have to take with both hands.
We have extraordinary opportunities to win our second main trophy as a country.
We must be excited for that.”
